lol. That is extreme. Right now i have 5 decks. Trying to keep it constant. I think i'll do that reading-listening method. But only problem is that definitely take some time to do. I.e. preparing subtitles,etc But it does improving the flow of reading,listening,understanding

Now that i think about it, the other thread is similar. But i think that thread wasn't really the best, as it wasn't direct in asking a question. This is just talking about certain methods that can increase learning hence "extreme". But yea this can get confusing, as there so similar

Clicking on the text link and clicking on the audio link...? That doesn't take much time.

I've been watching the Olympics while learning kanji so I've been thinking about that... big_smile

How about Olympic ski jumping and kanji? You don't use poles so your hands are free to hold the Heisig book while you fly through the air. You can score yourself by adding up your distance and the number of kanji you learned - (120 m + 20 new kanji = 140 points!).

Bobsled or luge + kanji might be interesting too. God forbid if you encounter a difficult kanji and lose focus...

I was referring to the part where you said LRing took a long time to prepare(if that's what you meant by "subtitles")... "links" = the links to audiobooks in the audiobook sticky

Oh i wasn't referring to the links of audiobooks. I was just referring to literally getting subtitles of a drama episode and just try follow+listen along to what they are saying.

I often do feel like the way I study is extreme in the slightest unless I start putting to much time into Anki which leads to extreme stress hence the extreme part. Of course if you put more time in you learn more and putting in a huge amount of time is in itself "extreme".

Maybe you could try doing extreme sports at the same time as learning Japanese?

I´m gonna try it:D

Skateboarding + japanese,
once I practiced flips and counted from one to hundred in japanese:D
